Abstract: In image communication, in order to save network resources and ensure reliable transmission in multi hop network, an image transmission scheme based on sliding window batched sparse (BATS) code and wavelet set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) coding is proposed. Compared with the image transmission scheme based on traditional BATS code and SPIHT code, and image transmission scheme based on common sliding window BATS code and SPIHT code, this scheme can not only improve the influence of coding randomness of BATS code on transmission reliability, but also greatly reduce the transmission delay while ensuring the progressive transmission characteristics of the scheme, so as to improve the quality of experience (QoE) on the image communication system.
